Members of Ballet Folklorico de Durango, a cultural arts program that promotes Mexican culture, perform Sept. 19, 2025, during Fiesta en la Mesa in the Student Union Plaza at Fort Lewis College.
For dozens of Fort Lewis students, alumni and community members, Fiesta en la Mesa was a way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a game of Lotería, Latin food, a piñata and a live performance by Mariachi Amigos de Nuevo México.
El Centro de Muchos Colores has organized the fiesta for the past 30 years, helping to raise money for clubs and organizations at the college along the way.
